So, I need to start figuring out which skills are most important to raise for my Evie.
First, she will use staff weapons, not scythes. Second, I plan to put much more of an emphasis on magic than alchemy.
Basically, I'm looking to deal as much magical damage from a distance as I possibly can. So can anyone point me in the right direction?

First off Magic Arrow. Damage increases significantly at rank 9.
Then Int mastery. And after that Magic Mastery and Magic Crit Hits.

Add Agi in there also, but lower priority I think.
Have you read the guide here? It helped me get started, might do the same for you. The discussion is pretty insightful at times also.

Thanks for the help, I did have an idea of what to put AP into and suggestions so far appear to agree with it, but I'm still looking for suggestions to make sure I'm not missing anything too important.
I did look over that guide, it was helpful but it only gave me a vague idea of what to put AP into. Whereas for Lann, it was relatively easy to figure that out.

Gotcha. Since she is so new, I don't think anyone has taken the time to write up a Scythe guide yet.
Hopefully someone with some insight will pop in here and share it, so I can steal some information also :)

Sora will be writing a Scythe Evy guide sometime. If no one steps up, I'll see about writing a Staff one (I'm lazy. D: Guides require a lot of work). Whyrainfalls is right though. Magic Arrow should be gotten to r9 along with Magic Mastery, Intelligence Mastery and Magic Crit. I'd also go for Stamina Recovery (more use of Firebolt) and Firebolt itself. If you manage to have any points after all those, Eagle Talon or Agility Mastery. Eagle Talon because it's basically extra damage and Agility Mastery because of the stamina issue.

Alright, thanks. So here's what I have so far. From top to bottom it goes from highest to lowest priority, and the arrows point to the rank to aim for.
Magic Arrow -> 9
Int Mastery -> 9
Stamina Rec -> D (prerequisite for Magic Mastery, right?)
Magic Mastery -> 9
Magic Crit -> 9
Stamina Rec -> 9
Firebolt -> 9
Agi Mastery -> ?
Staff Mastery -> D
Does that seem about right?

Yup, it looks about right. Cloth and Staff Mastery should only be at the amount you actually need it to be. Magic Arrow has in the description that it doesn't crit, but it's been confirmed that it can.
Also, there will be a Staff Evy guide up. I roped Heretic into it as well, so it'll be good!
